'''''W5''''' is a Canadian [[news magazine]] television program that was produced by [[CTV News]]. The program was broadcast on [[CTV Television Network|CTV]], with repeat broadcasts on [[CTV 2]], [[CTV News Channel (Canadian TV channel)|CTV News Channel]], and [[Oxygen (Canadian TV channel)|Investigation Discovery]]. The program also aired in a radio simulcast on [[CFRB]] in Toronto.

The title refers to the [[Five Ws]] of [[journalism]]: Who, What, Where, When and Why? It was the longest-running news magazine/documentary program in North America and the most-watched program of its type in Canada.

In February 2024, [[Bell Media]] announced that ''W5'' would conclude as a regular television series after 58 seasons, due to cutbacks at the company; in September 2024, CTV News would relaunch the brand as an [[investigative journalism]] unit, which will present [[Long-form journalism|long-form]] stories on the ''[[CTV National News]]'' and other CTV News platforms, and produce occasional documentary specials for CTV under the branding '''''W5: [[Avery Haines]] Investigates'''''.
